Hello and welcome! I have another layout to share with you using my fabulous Cheery Lynn Designs.I love my 'darling husband'. It's funny because when he saw that the LO of him was titled simply "DH", he asked, "What the heck does DH mean?" Haha! I forget he doesn't know much forum lingo.

I used the new Carnivale Border die to add a little more interest to the edge of my background patterned paper.The Sunflower dies worked perfect as my main element. These sunflowers are super detailed and so realistic looking, I just love them. To add a little more dimension, I topped each flower with a Dimensional Button.

After I sent this sketch out to the DT, I was informed that this sketch was a bit of a challenge for a few of them. So here's another brainteaser for you:This is actually a still picture, nothing is moving at all, only your brain thinks so. Cool, hugh?

Sketch 126

In fact, two of the DT members emailed me and said that this sketch looked like a sail boat so that's what they made on their layout...sailboats. Too funny! I think it is so intriguing what some creative minds see and others don't.So here are the fabulous sailboat pages first:

Vicky VarvadoukaGone Fishing

Kerryn FryStarting Early

Brigitte Van LindenThe Sweet Life

Karen GroseUs

Jennifer ShawVintage Kitty

Everyone loves to get 2 for 1. Well, Cheery Lynn Designs knows that so many of their new Doilies and Exotic Dies are just that -2 dies for the price of one.Today I used the "insides" of the Japanese Lace & Flourish Frame. They are just so pretty and perfect for a cluster of flowers on any LO or card.

You know I gotta' throw one of the fabulous butterfly dies in there. Cheery Lynn is famous for these. I matted the butterfly with a soft background color before jazzing it up with a pop of red glitter glue.

Best Creation came out with a totally rockin' collection this month called Rock Star. Oh my gosh, I just LOVE it! It's funky with a whole lotta' punk.The DT was asked to create projects using our favorite songs as titles. I had a blast with this assignment.

Hey Soul Sister by TrainThis is my daughter wearing a wig on crazy hair day. I thought about using a Lady Gaga title but I just couldn't bring myself to go there. :)

I Gotta' Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas

These papers are HOT! Check out the Best Creation blog for more ideas from the DT.

Happy Father's Day!!! Before you go off and celebrate your dads and/or husbands, I wanted to tell you thatBest Creation has some pretty fun stuff going on. We are playing a little game of Where's Waldo?. You all know those cute books, well this is the scrapbook version. Find Waldo and you could win a huge box of BC goodies! Eeeeek! The details on how to play are on the BC blog.

Helmar is one of Best Creation's fabulous preferred partners and I just love them! The DT got to play with a bunch of their adhesives and all I know is that I'm hooked! No need for any other...ever!

The DT was asked to create a project using the new Splash Fun collection along with a water technique.

How totally cute is this paper?? For my "technique" I simply made water drops using dots of Glossy Accents. It dries perfectly clear and looks just like water.

Hello, hello!Isn't it fun welcoming a new baby into the world? Curious about what they will really look like when they're older or wondering what kind of effect they will have on the world.This is my brand new niece, Emarie.Its no secret I do not like pastel colors, clear and bright is best for me. I was sure to add lots of beautiful flowers for this "baby" page with help from Cherry Lynn Designs dies.
